And he keeps coming back four days in a row, sometimes alone, sometimes with other friends from the trip.

And every time they all continue to deny that any fight happened.

In fact, Salamandra says that they cried with her and they talked to her about funeral plans and what they were going to wear.

Well, we know that they all went to the same college, Winston-Salem State University.

I know, obviously, that Shanquilla was close with Khalil, but I also recently got confirmation that she knew the birthday girl, Dejanay.

Apparently, the two of them had even been on trips together before, but I don't think they were super close because Shanquilla wasn't originally invited to Cabo.

Court docs say that she was invited at the last minute after someone else dropped out.

So it's not like the family has close ties to the other five like they do Khalil.

Their word pretty much means nothing.

But Khalil had gone on family trips with them.

Like they do trust him.

So while they're suspicious at that point, they don't really have any choice but to kind of take everyone at their word.

At least until they get more info.

On November 10th, this is now 12 days after Shanquela's death, the family gets a call from Mexican authorities that turns their world upside down.

They say that Shanquela didn't die from alcohol poisoning.

There's actually no mention of alcohol poisoning at all in her autopsy report.

What they list as her manner of death makes no sense with any story that this group has been telling.

And that's when it becomes clear to Salamandra that everyone has been lying to her.

Shanquela's manner of death is listed as violent, and the ME says Shanquela died from a severe spinal cord and neck injury.

Now, the ME finds that her neck wasn't totally broken, but it was dislocated enough to be fatal.
